Vital Statistics -

• Store Address: 282 King Street, Charleston, SC 29401
• Phone Number: (843) 577-4145
• Hours of Operation: 10am to 10pm Daily, Starting August 1st, 1998.  (Trial openings were held the last two days of July.)

Directions from Out-of-Town -

1. Take I-26 East to Charleston.
2. Go all the way to the end of I-26 and take exit 221a (King Street).
3. Turn right onto King Street (the exit kind of loops around).
4. Follow King Street for about 9 traffic lights (many more blocks). While on King Street it is easiest to stay in the left hand lane.  Don't ask, just trust me.
5. It is often hard to find a parking spot on King Street.  Easier is to take a right onto Wentworth Street.  (You will have just passed the shop on your left.)  Get into the left lane fast, and there is a parking garage on the corner on the left.
6. The shop is at 282 King, has a brick front, large picture window, and none-to-obvious signage.  It is next to a bakery and Mike Calder's Pub, just in case you need a drink!
7. Please, make sure you tell them how you found the place from my web page!!
